Cash Management
Business analysts report that poor management is the main reason for business failure. This concept describes the basics of cash management and ways to maximise cash flow.
Technique Overview
Cash Management Definition
Cash management forecasts cash flows as part of the working capital cycle; prepares cash and financial budgets and fund-flow statements, and manages the cash or funds flowing through the company (Armstrong, 2001). Cash management helps to ensure that there are enough cash and working capital to cover everyday company needs, without tying up funds that could be invested more profitably elsewhere, or relying too much on short-term credit facilities. Good cash management implies maintaining adequate liquidity with minimum cash in the bank (Lasher, 2010).
